reliable remedial vegetable agents known
to science, to act directly on the womb
and uterine organs, and the organs and
parts sympathizing directly with these :;
and, therefore, providing specific rene.
dy for all diseases of the womb and of the
adjacent organs and parts.
| Yours truly,

here to Mr.. Julius Levin. It is in re-

"Your letter to Mr.. Redmond, our
Division Superintendent, asking that
we aid the City of Alexandria in bull
ding plank road out to our sepot,
has been referred through proper chan
mel to me. We are very DESTROYS of
getting good road into your city and
think it would he greatly to the inter-
est of Alexandria and to our road, but
we could hardly undertake to pay
twelve or fifteen hundred dollars to-
wards plank road which would only
last for few years. 1t might be bet
ter for you to run side track into the
City rather than undertake to build
this road. | hope to be able to stop

In his address here last week be-
fore the State Medical Association, ex-
Pres't D. r. Fox, spoke in the follow
ing complimentary manner of our town,
for which he deserves the plaudits of
the entire community:
My confreres, hope that the time is not
far distant when every physician IN the
State.shali have been enrolled on the reg-
istry of our Society, aud when this has
been accomplished, may some generous
Tulane or Vanderbilt endow our beloved
Association SO handsomely that we may
cease our wanderings from Parish to Pa
IRISH, and select some central site, there to
erect splendid ediiice for this no place
could he more suitable than this pleasant
city Of Alexandria, situated as it is in the
geographical centre of the State, accessi-
BILE by railroad and river. May this be
the great medical Mecca of the future, to
which every physician of this grand old
State shall make an annual pilgrimage,
and contribute his mite of learning and
experience to the advancement of the
great object of our profession, viz: the
prevention, cure or alienation of "all the
ills flesh is heir to-" and may we acquire
Il name and a fame that will make this
city as renowned as her ancient namesake.

FAMOUS PRISON.
Tho Interior Arrangements OF the Ne

The Interior Arrangements OF the New
York "TOmbs."
Massive, mysterious and Egyptian
looking as the tombs by the Nile for
which it is named. the New York City
Prison is building which never fails
10 strike the observer with awe. 1t
covers an entire block, fronting on
dingy but bustling Center street. There
is plenty of activity about the entrance,
where people are constantly entering
or emerging from the Sepulchral gloom
of LuXor-like pillars of stone, behind
which are the numerous offices, court
rooms, etc, which have to be passed
before the prison proper is reached. To
some who pass within it is veritable
tomb of earthly hopes; and there is Il
bridge of Signs" leading TO the fatal
corridor where many murderer has
paid the death-penalty on the galiows.
To the great majority. however, the
Tombs is merely a temporary place of
detention, prefacing n more protracted
residence on BLACKWELL Island, or per-
haps at the State prison.
The visitor obtains pass from War
den Walsh, who is man of full habit,
quite massive enough to harmonic with
his surroundings. A glance at the
census slate hangingi in the Office shows
the prisons population to be something
near five hundred. including both sexes,
though usually about nine-tenths of the
prisoners are males. At the end of
long stone corridor is the entrance to
the women's department. over which
MatrOn McAulilf presides. The women
wear a uniform dress of coarse cloth,
striped diagonally. They perform va
rious duties about the building, but do
not work during visitors hours.
The male prisoners and their cells are
tolerably weil-appearing; but there is a
larger average of tough" faces among
them. and enough untidiness to form a
contrast to the women's department.
There are good many visitors, of both
sexes and all ages. The prisoners are
allowed to receive eatables, but no
liquor. Every thing must GO through
the Office, however, and although they
may call for messenger and send him
where they please. whatever he brings
must be examined before it is delivered
to the prisoner. The dining-room COM
